Excellent I cannot wait to see Simon in action.

 

[SoupNazi]

Now it's up to Newsy to play him.

 

[Larkin2AA]

Let’s goooo.

 

[Ricelund]

Pumped to see what Edvinsson can do!

 

[RED WINGS STOMP]

Let's go Simon, wreck some Avalanche losers!

 

[jaster]

But can he play defense?

 

[Hen Kolland]

I hope he just kills it, because this feels like a call up knowing that Chiarot will return and Simon gets sent right back down.

Make them have no choice but to keep you, Simon.

 

[jaster]

His ELC can still slide this year. Will be interesting to see if he plays more than 9 games, with 15 left in Detroit's season.

Over/under on Simon Edvinsson's games played with Detroit this year: 9.5

 

[Hammettf2b]

Game is in 3 hours?

Edit: Game is tomorrow. I'm dumb lol

I would understand if they sit him a few to keep him under 10 games while still practicing and getting used to the NHL life. Would make sense asset management wise.

 

[Perfect Human]

start of a new era! Let’s go Simon!

 

[norrisnick]

Only 5mo late

 

[Run the Jewels]

Excited to see him play. I don't feel the need to burn an ELC unless he's truly great, but it will be nice to get him a reward with some NHL action and the better NHL pay. Looking forward to tonight's game.

 

[jkutswings]

Tear it up, kid. Knock that door down.

 

[Frk It]

Excited to see him play. Hoping he wears either #3 or #77 in Detroit (long term). Both are great number choices IMO.

I'm still waiting for the teams to really lean into the popularization of burning ELC years early to get to a second contract before a major breakout happens. I just want to have two different universes where I can follow simultaneously and see which method ends up working out the best.

77? I just think of Coffey, and I want Ed to be better defensively than Coffey.

With so many [good] young guys getting big contracts earlier than ever before, it seems the league has indeed shifted in that direction already. To me, it only makes sense for your very best players, but it does make sense. Stutzle getting that contract made a lot of sense. But you obviously want to be careful getting to that second contract too soon and overpaying a B-level player thinking he'll be A-level, or doing it too often and screwing up your cap structure.

I think it's aesthetically pleasing and Hedman/Bourque/Esposito are pretty good.

Fair enough. In the winged wheel, I still can't shake Coffey though lol.

 

[Ricelund]

I like #77 for Edvinsson. #3 reminds me of Lilja.

Well I mean Lilja wore #3 for us, but I’m hoping Edvinsson makes us forget that ever happened lol. I like #3 and #77 for a defenseman.

Someone just needs to get Kasper and Berggren to pick better numbers.

Seider is making #53 his own.

As much as #3 does make me think of Lilja, it makes me think of Bob Rouse more, so it's ok. Plus I like low numbers.

In a vacuum, I don't like #53 for Seider, but given the reason for it, I'm perfectly ok with it.

I kinda like #24 for Kasper.

#52 is a little weird though.

 

[RRhoads]

#3 makes me think of Steve Chiasson, probably because he wore that number when I became a fan of the team.
